Necron Obelisks Built and Reviewed

Nick speaking,

I managed to grab a few hours recently to build the two 'Cyborb' Obelisks I got from Laser Cut Card. As with the 'Cyborg' Defence Line I made, these went together in almost the same way. I would say the main sections were a bit trickier than the Defence Line was, mainly due to the larger area you have to glue. The key thing with them is to take your time and not try and glue the whole side all at once. If you start at one end and make sure it's dry before moving up the join, it is a lot easier, and with a bit of patience comes together very well...

You may also find it useful to build two corner sections first, let them thoroughly dry, and then join the two corner sections together, rather than going around the Obelisk one side at a time. The Glyphs themselves are very detailed, and you have to be careful not to lose any of the circles as you cut them out. Sadly this happened to me, but I was able to rescue the situation with a 2x1mm magnet being the exact size as the piece I lost. This kit has now been updated to include a few spare circles in case you lose any like I did, so don't worry about that...

Overall it took me four hours to make both of these, I have already ordered another four of them for my Necron themed terrain board. I see me building the next ones much quicker than these two and I am really looking forward to painting the whole set up and getting them on the table. Don't forget to go over and check out the other stuff on the website, Neal has just put up his brand new Chaos Defence Line which is well worth a look at...
